Pillion back rest on top box

[Captain GSA]

Has anyone got any suggstions on fitting a back rest on my 1200GSA top box. My wife's light coloured leather jacket is getting scuffed on the aluminium box, and I want to fix some kind of neat looking pad or something-can you guys help?..

Why not put some clear sticky film (fablon eg) on the top box? Don't loose any room then

BMW offer an optional backrest specific to the 1200GSA luggage.

Alternatively you can fit another backrest such as the one sold by Hepco and Becker.

I bought the BMW back rest, specifically for the GS luggage. It was quite expensive I thought, at £50, but it is a good part and my wife is a happier pillion with it fitted.

Yep, got the BMW one on the vario topbox, can't complain (but I don't use it) my son's happy enough when he's on the back though. Looks the job as well

Thanks to you all for the reply. Being the gadget man that I am, I am going for the BMW one. Cheers.

Wife says it is great.

It looks very good. I am expecting my new GS in the next few days and ordered the same for my wife.

Just picked my back rest up from Vines of Guildford. Doesn't look much but does the job. Wife likes

Is this the one for the 1200GSA (aluminium) topbox?

Yes, it's a little different to the one above- got a big discount on it as way too expensive initially. List is £50.00
